[Legend General] segphault:
Just checked my kernel version - I already have the latest version (2.6.32.17). I've also set the governor to interactive as suggested, but I have pushed the max clock back to 768Mhz and the min clock to 122Mhz.

While we're here, is there any way to push the min clock down even lower, or would that require fiddling with the kernel? In which case, I have two questions:

1. blay0, I've heard people who can push their min clock down to something ridiculous like 19Mhz if I recall correctly, which makes battery life last a crazy amount of time. Could you include that as the minimum clock in the next kernel for b 0.8?

2. If not, how do I go about changing it myself?

I want to learn.
[Legend General] TheGrammarFreak:
You'd have to mess around with kernel source code. I wouldn't know where to begin, sorry
[Legend General] MaBlo:
Wouldn't 19 MHz min also make the phone painfully slow to wake up? Just curious.
[Legend General] segphault:
That did cross my mind but other users have reported success with it, so I figured I might as well give it some investigation.
[Legend General] TheGrammarFreak:
I had mine go to 19 min with screen off once, it did my head in. Maybe interactive with a reasonable upper limit with screen off (like 400) would work, who knows
[Legend General] segphault:
Maybe not quite 19Mhz, then.

Perhaps we should do some testing to see how much processing power is needed to wake the phone quickly? Is there any way to test that?
[Legend General] segphault:
Back on topic, I just had another lockup while using the interactive governor. This time I froze up while loading Fruit Ninja.

Now I'm at a total loss for what could be causing the lockups.

- Swyped from my rooted HTC Legend -
[Legend General] segphault:
Seeing as nobody can seem to pin-point the problem, I'm moving to CM7 permanently as soon as it's released as stable.
[Optimus One, P500, V General] adam79:
Is there a way to move the text cursor back (without deleting text) when typing? My last phone had a trackball which let you do this, but the Optimus T (P509) lacks this useful button. Is there a back arrow on either the android or swype keyboard that I'm overlooking?

Thanks,

The lg keyboard has cursor keys on the t9 layout. It would be nice to have a way to enable cursor keys in qwertz layout. Any ideas?
[Optimus One, P500, V General] adam79:
Thanks. I don't use the swype keypad; I like the android one. Is there a way to move the cursor with that?

[Optimus One, P500, V General] kpbotbot:
You can click on the area on the textbox to move the cursor, which is incredibly difficult. I haven't seen other keyboards that have arrow keys on them, though.

Hi,

I have a x10 mini pro phone and i woul like to upgrade its android version.

I read about cyanogenmod but I have some doubts:

1 - installing this rom, can I install app in SD

2 - " " " , can I install flash player as plugin for browser?

I would like to realize this because, reading cyanogenMod thread, I note that this rom has kernel 2.6.29 just like Eclair and not 2.6.32 (froyo kernel)

thanks a lot

[Samsung Galaxy S (4G Model)] mistasyn:
Ok, so I was one of the first people during the whole vibrant fiasco to try and install CMR. When I chose Samsung Vibrant and then booted into recovery. It failed and then I tried again like the instructions said and it failed again. So when I boot into recovery it says 3e at top. When I reboot into recovery in the Rom Manager it still is 3e but it says in red 'failed to seek in /cache/update.zip, signature verification failed, and installing multi-csc installation aborted'. So am I safe? When the correct CMR is released can i install that and everything be okay...or am I screwed? What do I do? Oh and if you can answer in kindergarden terms because I'm am a super-n00b when it comes to the terms but not when it comes to following directions. Thanks.
[Nexus S General] rockingx10:
please help me out. I'm with rogers canada they are sending me iphone 4. There is no way ill use or open it cause of previous experience. So I'm gonna sell it for 500. Now if you had to buy any of this phone which you would get? Atrix, sgs2, dhd, or nexus s. DHD already available here and nexus s and atrix coming this month. Sgs2 heard somewhere at&t version will be available. So which you would get?
[Nexus S General] tekkitan:
You are asking this in a Nexus S forum? What do you think our answer will be? :P

Do your research and get the phone that you want. We can't tell you what to get.
[Nexus S General] AllGamer:
shop phones based on your carrier network frequency

it's useless to have a phone that can't do 3G/4G
[Nexus S General] dinan:
Atrix is AT&T so you'd have to get one from the US and unlock it, which will be expensive if you don't go in person.

You're on rogers, you can't use the Nexus S on 3G until the AT&T version comes out which is probably soon, but no one knows.

SGS 2 is nice, but when do you realistically think it'll hit the US, let alone Canada?

You're in the Nexus S forums so of course people will be biased here. Most of us got a Nexus S knowing it would be a clean, stock android experience with no bloatware and lots of development and tweaking/hacking potential. Personally I'm done with carrier phones, the bloatware is insane. I've had a T-mo Vibrant and MT4G and I got rid of them within a month of use and went back to my Nexus One until the Nexus S came out. It's similar to buying a Dell desktop with a bunch of bloatware installed vs. building your own PC and having a nice clean system that you know is unaltered by some other goon. =)

Hi guys

im having a problem updating to the latest magldr 1.13. I get as far as updating but it hangs at 0% and then fails. Any ideas why i have the 2.15.50.14 radio. On the offchance of imcompatability i tried to install a different radio but that failed in the same way? I have tried on a vista and w7 machine still no joy? Any help mucho appreciated ;)
[HD2 Android Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting and Genera] paulrgod:
I've had problems with similar behavior - as silly as this may sound, for some reason my HD2 decided to suddenly not like the USB cable i've been using for over a year - it will charge with the cable just not sync/mass storage or anything like that with it. Changing the cable works instantly!

So my advice would be to try a new Micro USB cable - they're only a few quid on Ebay.

Cheers

[Captivate General] miketucky350:
Hey fellow captivate users. here is a little outlook on the new froyo update. Running stock 2.1 is cumbersome. We have been sick of lags, freezes, no gps, only 304 ram, no app side loading, market bugs. messaging bugs. COME ON samsung/att. its terrible for such a great phone. (all are EASILY fixed), but we wanted froyo! So this update should fix them all. Well it does fix ALOT of lil bugs. but the same RULES apply. heres the good on stock un modded update

-Faster, smoother overall. still lags just not as much

-flash (too laggy/slow to enjoy)

-339 ram vs 304

-updated notification menu

-market and messaging bugs fixed.

-can turn off data packet (att mobile network data (3g/edge)

-swype updated much better.

-usb cable problems fixed (unless hardware bad) some have issues with pc connectivity with enclair.

- a must for people content with stock roms

-retains factory warranty

-Gps works well. My newest cappy (1007 build) gps works like a clock, even better than most custom roms out there.

-Nice Touchwiz update. Turn off animations and its pretty darn smooth and quick.

-Can be tweaked to run like a champ. kernel update (lagifx, voodoo sound), maybe launcher, over clock.

Now the bad

-Compared to custom roms its too slow. doggy

-cant modify as much as custom rom.

-updated recovery 3. Not as open and easy as 2.

-they give us mobile ap/tethering option with a very poorly themed section on top saying dial 611 to PAY for it. when its your data and its not unlimited. but still pay to tether or mobile ap! disgrace. custom roms free.

-still no app side loading. Super One Click Root 1.65 works perfect to root and enable side loading. Easy fix but for the person who has no computer savvy. its a limited dumb not smart phone.

-no hsupa still.

-modem speeds poor when compared to jk4 ect. In hspa area Wifes cappy in most spots would pull half or less download speeds. While upload speeds capped under 400k. 19000 modem was pulling up to 5.5mbps download 1.5mbps upload. while stock kb1 was topping out at 2.5mpbs up and 300k down. (rarely hit 2.5 mbps download, usually around 1mbps). just a little food for thought.

Out of all this. The souce code will be out so roms will be flying out. cant wait.

Some good. If want to stay close to stock. Try Cognition 4.45 or Nostalgia 1.0, both are very good roms. Nostalgia is probably one of the quickest roms you will flash. While both roms are dead on reliable.
[Captivate General] edtonn:
Thanks for the rundown – agreed on all points. Haven't tried the KB1 GPS yet, but I'm hoping to compare soon. I'd add a few of my own for any interested as well (stock, rooted official KB1 – coming from stock, unrooted JH7 recent warranty replacement):

Good (fairly thorough above)

- love the Froyo Gmail app (old news, yes, but still)

- Facebook SNS contact sync seems to be working for me after never being able to sync on JH7

Bad

- 3e recovery that doesn't allow unsigned zips (easy fix if you search these forums for a modified 3e recovery, but still an annoyance)

- wifi seems to be less reliable, as I never dropped my home connection on JH7 but have seen a couple blips in the past few days on KB1

- as mentioned above, still lags, just not quite as much as JH7
[Captivate General] miketucky350:
it has killing me, but ive been like 14 hours running a stock rom, that i can return for warranty if i want to. Its doggy. web browsing pinch to zoom is useless its too slow. gps a joke. ATT and samsung said bring phone in and they will give me a new one. they said the captivates from few months ago had issues the new ones do not. kb1 modem on edge works decent. 3g moves good. was getting 1.4 up 160 down (still no hsupa) Last week i tested cognition 4, di11is 6.0, serindipity 5.12 i was getting over 3mbps over same 3g. like eclair the auto screen rotate is erratic. Will have brand new cappy tomorrow. I know i can make gps work but why. Its there junk, and it screwed me over too many times in a different city not being accurate or dropping signal.
[Captivate General] sola fide:
After I upgraded to Froyo from a stock 2.1 build my GPS was fixed. My buddy has a captivate rooted with stock 2.1. After he upgraded to Froyo his GPS was fixed.

For myself and many other people on XDA the GPS was fixed with the Froyo. Have you considered the possibility of a hardware issue?
[Captivate General] miketucky350:
1 more note bloatware. download super one click root 1.65. it roots/unroots. and enables app side loading.
[Captivate General] Clay:
The lack of stay awake while charging is upsetting.

Lack of ability to only show phone calls in call log. I do not need to see texts in the call log.

And how do you get it on true silent? Why take complete silent away from volume all the way down?

Yes. Its easier to complain than praise. I like some of the new stuff but I just don't understand why companies change things for the worse and take away good features like this.
[Captivate General] icepop:
Emailapp routinely stops synching my Exchange account and needs a forced refresh to being synching again. I get about 10 emails or so over night normally, I'll wake up and occaissionally see that I have no email. Once I force a refresh on the account it'll start synching again. Annoying.

Music Player randomly pauses. There's no real pattern to this, it just pauses for no reason. It might happen 3 times in an hour or not at all. I never had this problem in stock 2.1 or leaked 2.2

GPS

Tested the GPS briefly yesterday. Took probably 2-3 mins to lock, then struggled to keep the lock for another 1-2 mins, then tracked perfectly from what I could tell. Granted, that's pretty much how stock 2.1 GPS was for me (sometimes struggled, sometimes awesome), so I don't know as I can tell a difference.

Still as frustrating as always.
[Captivate General] miketucky350:
yes its a hardware issue. im taking it back tomorrow to get a new one. Ive seen it work good for 2 days. thats it , on di11is 6.0. tracked great. it turned when i did. Was nice. but am starting to have problems with usb. it says usb connected when its not. so i flashed back to stock. restored nv_data.bin. installed kies update. so going to return. it!
[Captivate General] Dnorwood:
What about not being able to turn off geotagging in the camera settings? Only way to disable is to turn off both gps and "use wireless networks" in the location menu.

Seems a little stupid to not have the option to turn off.

[Captivate General] dampeal:
Here's an oddball problem I found with the official Froyo update.

I'm a reviewer and I got Orb Tv for review, and I was going to review iDisplay for Android as well.

Orb Tv has an app called Orb Controller on the market but I couldn't find it at all. The same thing happened with iDisplay, it just wasn't on the market.

I uninstalled the market, cleared cache etc, chatted back and forth with support for both companies and they assured me both apps were in the market.

This has been going on for days now with missing apps like this.

I even went to the Android marketplace website and not the market app and there were the apps I wanted. I tried to install them that way, have them sent to my phone as it were. My phone was listed but it said the apps weren't compatible with my phone.

So I thought that's kind of odd as most anyone would.

I couldn't figure out the problem and then it hit me, root.

I unrooted my phone and pow the apps I was looking for were there on the marketplace, rooted my phone again and the apps were gone again, unrooted it and there they were back again.

Anyone else ever experience this?

BT Dialing

Is it missing the VoiceDialer application?

I'm using a 2.2 (not 2.2.1) custom ROM and without the VoiceDialer.apk I couldn't use BT dialing until I installed it. Use a root file browser like Root Explorer to place the file in the \system\app folder and reboot the phone (you must be rooted to allow r/w access to this folder).

I haven't tested it with this ROM so if it doesn't work I'm sorry.

[Captivate General] rbtconsultants:
I tried this. I added it. It isn't "voice search", it's an older voice dialer. It works fine with my bluetooth button, but it doesn't recognize anything I say. It starts up, says something like "say a command" in my bluetooth headset, shows "listening" in the popup box, but no matter what I say it just says "not found, retry" into my headset and goes back to "listening".

I was looking for full voice search from blue tooth anyway, but this would have been better than nothing.

Ah well

[Captivate General] mobileseq:
Great rundown on pros and cons and all.
[Captivate General] miketucky350:
meohman1 YOU ARE RIGHT!! custom roms are the only way to go. I bought 2 captivates few months ago. i hated stock 2.1 so after day 3 i starting flashing. No comparison to wifes stock phone. She kept bringing me her phone with problems. After the update its real bad. too buggy. ive ran many roms that gps everything worked great. Well my usb port is messing up will say its plugged in when its not. and gps WILL NOT lock. so i am returning. after nv_data id restore then kies update of course. cant leave no tracks lol. Not spending any more time on it.
[Captivate General] miketucky350:
my takes. on froyo update. its pathetic. the time it took and wife and I have had nothing but problems with our phones since. 2.1 as bad as it was was less buggy. im still returning mine. remember when returning phone under warranty. go to Authorized store. they can help you the franchise ones will give you a att business card and say call this number. its worth the drive, for some. whats amazing is you would figure the official froyo made for this exact device would be great. well its not. and the kb1 modem pulls pathetic 3g speeds. custom roms run circles around it in every way shape or form. so if your wanting this. dont. next step odin, clockworkmod, flashhh
[Captivate General] pinoyplaya:
My gps is actually working now after the froyo update and i have drove tested it. . Actually got a lock pretty quick. Way better than before. And i have updated when it first available and been testing the gps every single time i take a drive and it stays on lock but loses at time but gets back on track. To me the update is worth the wait
[Captivate General] miketucky350:
i remember like 4 years ago getting an env2 which cant hold a candle to this captivate and the gps worked like a million bucks. Locked as fast as you hit vzw nav. always accurate. My best friends droid x and brothers droid incredible the same way. So to me the way this performs is unacceptable, and samsung/att needs to take care of this. If it means give us a different phone. The 1 cappy i have works half a**ed one not at all.
[Captivate General] melvinaury:
For me the GPS is working excellent in highway at 70 mph i Have a lock of just 1 meter (3.28 feet). I live in Puerto Rico. On the stock Captivate from my wife it takes forever to lock and when lock it says 10 meter.

For better phone install a custom ROM, or root the 2.2 factory room uninstall all the bloatware, erase the theeter file in system and install Launcher Pro (with this modification the phone was way better and you can unroot and still have the theeterin working)
[Captivate General] miketucky350:
its pretty amazing. ran stock froyo for almost a week. tinkered with it. Made it ok. gps ehhh kinda. still a tad laggy. options limited. Well i was about to get a new one. then i had a hunch to flash!! Serendipity 5.12. with amazing results. I puck up lock on no less than 6 sats up to 12 within 20 seconds everytime. even inside the house. google maps locks and works almost instantly everytime just tried in my basement. 8 sats. 10 meter 14 seconds in basement. voodoo sound, all the options. DOES NOT alter nv_data.bin. lags gone. Its a win win. Usb problem gone. more stable. better kernel support. Donation going out if in big city you will get 2x the 3g/hspa speeds.

I heard the official froyo update is out. So,anybody try to install this official update into a rooted captivate with lag fixed? Thanks
[Captivate General] Miami_Son:
Official Froyo has been out since Feb. 24th. There are already a couple of custom ROMs based on it in the Dev forum. You should visit more often.:D
[Captivate General] RKight:
The ironic part about all of this is that many of us were running leaked and heavily modified Android 2.2 ROMs while waiting for the official 2.2 to drop. Now that Froyo has officially dropped for the captivate, we have CyanogenMod 7 which is 2.3.3 based. I've stayed one Android version ahead of AT&T for the past 6 months and I don't intend to change that. This thread was about the pros and cons of the official 2.2...but I think the biggest cons are that it's offical and that it's 2.2.
[Captivate General] dementors:
pretty sure that person meant the official froyo for the captivate on at&t. it came out yesterday.
[Captivate General] Miami_Son:
Pretty sure he's wrong as the official Froyo update for AT$T Captivate came out via Kies on 2/24. First post FAIL.

GPS performance

I just odin'd back to stock 2.1 and master cleared and then upgraded to stock 2.2

I hate AT&T restrictions as much as the other guy, but I have to say the GPS is as close to flawless as I've ever seen it, and I didn't change a thing on the GPS settings.

Web browsing, calls, apps all appeared to be working flawlessly for me.

I wonder if really going back to stock and master clearing, no restoring apps etc is what is the difference between those who have good luck with stock and those who don't. I'm not getting the quadrant scores I used to, but the phone really don't feel laggy to me the way 2.1 did,

I wonder what is it in custom roms, even cognition 4.0 which was as close to stock 2.2 as you could get, that causes so many problems with the GPS.

I have a build 1007 phone, that I'm probably going to resell on ebay, switching back to verizon for the thunderbolt. I think on my thunderbolt I'm going to try to stay away from custom roms, just root it and try to add the fews things I need.
